About
*** guide price £280,000 - £290,000 *** Situated to the north‐east of Colchester, this well‐kept two‐bedroom semi‐detached home enjoys a highly convenient setting.
The location offers effortless access to Colchester City Centre, where an excellent mix of independent and High Street shops, bars, restaurants, the Theatre, Colchester Castle, and a wide range of amenities await.
You are also within easy reach of a train station, supermarket, public transport links and respected local schooling, making this an ideal spot for families and commuters.
The updated accommodation is beautifully presented throughout, finished with stylish décor and enhanced by both an open fire and log burner in the ground‐floor reception spaces, adding warmth and character.
The layout begins with an entrance porch leading into a welcoming dining area, complete with a fireplace and a rear‐facing window offering lovely views over the garden.
The lounge is another standout room, featuring a log burner and sash windows that flood the space with natural light - a perfect place to unwind after a long day.
The kitchen provides a practical range of eye‐ and base‐level units, generous work surfaces and appliance spaces, with a door leading through to the ground‐floor wet room.
Upstairs, you will find two double bedrooms, both offering built‐in storage and presented to a high standard. The rear bedroom benefits further from a door leading into a very handy en‐suite bathroom.
Externally, the property features a small enclosed garden to the front, while the rear garden is well maintained, mainly laid to lawn and commencing with a decking area.
A rear gate provides access to hardstanding that offers ample off‐road parking.
